"Bolsonaro Allegedly Enlisted Brazilian Hacker to Manipulate Voting Machine"

Brazilian hacker Walter Delgatti testified before a congressional inquiry, claiming that former President Jair Bolsonaro asked him to tamper with an electronic voting machine during the 2022 presidential campaign to demonstrate vulnerabilities in Brazil's electoral system. Delgatti stated that Bolsonaro offered him a pardon and a blank check to carry out the task. However, Delgatti admitted that he was unable to manipulate the voting machine as requested. Bolsonaro's defense denied the allegations, while his allies expressed concern over the potential consequences. Bolsonaro has faced multiple investigations for his attacks on the voting system and alleged involvement in encouraging supporters to storm government buildings.
